Make your vacation countdown

  1. Choose Customize this countdown and set the departure date and time.
  2. Pick the time zone of the airport or station you leave from. Flight times are local, so this keeps the countdown exact even if your travel group lives in different places.
  3. Add a title like “Lisbon in…” and a photo of your destination as the background (any image link starting with https).
  4. Share the link with your travel group, or embed it in your trip planner.

Ideas

  • Trip planners: put the countdown at the top of your Notion trip page.
  • Family trips: open it full screen on the kitchen tablet so the kids can watch the days drop.
  • Group trips and bachelor or bachelorette weekends: one link in the group chat.
  • Reunions: count down to landing, in the time zone of the person you’re visiting.

Want a check-in or booking deadline too? Make a second countdown; each one is just a link.
